24 Hours in Palm Desert

One of my favorite getaways is Palm Springs/Palm Desert and I am declaring myself a Palm Springs Expert. I have stayed at almost every hotel in the Palm Springs area. I try all the restaurants, bars and know all the best places to see and shop at. Growing up in California Palm Springs has always been a place we can go to because it’s a short drive. It’s also a place you can go to if you want to go for a week, weekend, or just for a night. I spent 24 hours here and I’ll tell you what I did. Palm Springs has so many cute hotels and they range from big resorts, family hotels, to cute boutique hotels.

Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn

Hideaway Santa Barbara

Now that things have been slowly opening up during the pandemic I have been searching for places to go that are a drive away. Santa Barbara has always been one of my favorite getaways because it’s a short drive from LA and Orange County. I took my mom and my friend to stay a couple of nights at the Hideaway Santa Barbara. It’s a cute boutique hotel that is tucked away in a neighborhood and it’s walking distance from Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone. The Hideaway is small so you need to book in advance it only has eight rooms. We stayed in the largest room which has one king and two twins with a cute sitting area. The decor of the hotel is beautiful. It’s California Coastal, so everything is bright and fresh looking. The rooms are calming because the colors are soft whites, blues and grays. It’s really a…
